Museum of Clocks - House at the Good Shephard
Source

The House of the Good Shepherd is a rococo house from the second half of the 18th century in Bratislava. It is one of the best Rococo buildings in the whole of Bratislava. The house was built for a Bratislava merchant in 1760-1765 and belongs to several preserved original buildings of the Bratislava castle. It was reconstructed in 1975 and the Museum of the City of Bratislava opened an exhibition of historical clocks, displaying various types of clocks from the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century, but focusing mainly on workshops from the 18th and 19th century masters of Bratislava. The museum is called the Museum of Clocks.

    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored quickly. The information provided about the exhibits is sometimes described as limited, especially for non-Slovak speakers, as not all descriptions are available in multiple languages. This can detract from the experience for international visitors.

    The staff is generally described as friendly, though interactions may be limited due to language barriers. Some visitors mention that the museum could benefit from more interactive displays or guided tours to enhance the experience.
